We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which products they've tried that were totally worth the splurge. Here are the results:
1. A set of bamboo sheets whose moisture-wicking powers will keep you from resenting your partner after discovering your bed is damp with their sweat again.
2. A KitchenAid stand mixer, an investment that will make your baking easier (and jazz up your countertops) for the rest of your life. Am I planning on getting married JUST so I can put one of these on my registry? *crosses fingers* No.
3. A fabric shower curtain liner that, unlike the cheap plastic liners we've all been frowning at for years, won't mildew in two seconds or blow around during your shower. This baby is machine-washable, so hellooooo clean liner for life.
4. A classic pair of Dr. Martens 1460 boots because owning a pair of Docs is a fundamental human experience. If you're not already rocking your pair from the '90s, you gotta start now!
5. A Le Creuset dutch oven Julia Child would be ever so proud of you for owning. Yes, it's expensive, but think of the lifetime of boeuf bourguignon ahead of you and let that inform your decision.
6. These wireless Samsung earbuds, because using headphones with cords is sooo 2000 and late — almost as much as saying "2000 and late."
7. Birkenstocks that will hug and cradle your tree-loving feet for years to come. The two best friends that anyone could have.
8. These Pinzon Egyptian bath towels, so every time you shower, you can have a true spa experience — without all the whispering and weird smells and pondering over if you're supposed to keep your underwear on during a massage or not.
9. A Ninja blender to absolutely pulverize your smoothies, soups, and anything else you need to blend to perfection. This thing should be in the WWE, it really takes no prisoners.
10. This ultra-soft toilet paper that will make your tushy feel caressed and cleaned in luxury. You know it feels better. Live a little and treat yourself.
11. A Shark Apex vacuum to keep your cat from taking over the couch by shedding SO MUCH on it and scaring everyone off. Reclaim your furniture with this convertible vacuum, perfectly suited for pet messes.
12. A bottle of high-quality perfume such as Chanel Chance, whose fresh floral scent will linger all day after using just a touch.
13. A Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer to protect your hair from heat damage while delivering some high-level shine and significantly shortening dry time. Also, its motor is in the handle instead of the head, making it easy on your wrist as you blow dry your little heart out.
14. A pair of Sorel wedges because *breaking news* it's possible to wear a lil' heel and still be comfortable as heck. It just might cost a tiny bit more. Worth it, imho.
15. A handheld steamer whose quick heat up time and ease of use will eradicate ironing from your life. Is it my birthday? Because the promise of never ironing again is the greatest gift I could ever hope to receive.
16. A CHI flat iron so you don't have to go over the same strand of hair one zillion times before it's finally flattened. CHI wouldn't dare waste your precious time like that.
17. And finally, a pair Hunter rain boots so no amount of downpour can put a ~damper~ on your day. Here's to dry feet no matter the weather, folks!
Because every once in a while, you should treat yourself to 👏THE 👏GOOD 👏 STUFF.
